According to reports from both Sky Germany and Sport BILD, Maximilian Wöber will complete a move to FC Schalke 04 shortly.
The 28-year-old is under contract with Leeds United, but is already in Austria and trained individually at the training camp on Tuesday.
Today he successfully completed his medical examination and is expected to sign a performance-based contract.
Wöber played on loan at Werder Bremen last season, but only made four appearances due ongoing injuries curtailing his involvement.
Werder therefore did not exercise their €4million purchase option. Prior to that he played on loan for Borussia Mönchengladbach.
However, Wöber's arrival likely means Felix Uduokhai will not join the Royal Blues from Turkish Süper Lig side Beşiktaş after all.
